Mel Gibson Puts Career On the Line for the Gospel

Fox News | January 14, 2003

I was just watching O'Reilly interviewing Mel Gibson who is doing a very graphic movie making a very strong statement about the death of Christ. It was evident to me in the interview that Mel is committed to getting the Christian message out although he apparently is quite aware that there are those in America (of course) who are busy now behind the scenes trying to generate a scandal, even going so far as to try and intimidate his elderly father into making incriminating statements. Normally I could care less about what the morons in Hollywood are doing, but this was such a refreshing change from the usual liberal weirdness and perversity that I just had to start a thread.

God bless Mel!

I thought this might interest you if you hadn't seen seen it.

You beat me to the story by a minute! This whole story is such a shame.

I am so glad to hear that, when I saw the preview I was worried. I didn't want to start disliking him, he is my favorite actor.

Let's all help this movie set a box office record!

[Rightly Biased]

And Above all Gibson understands forgiveness,and how it relates to actions against his Family He has already forgiven this "reporter" but the "reporter" had better watch out,....

And Gibson always does that thing with his eyes like he's daring you to mess with him.

[Mr. Lucky]

Speaking of the usual liberal wiedness from Hollywood, how did the new movie by that fat guy who's ashamed to be white and to be a man do at the box office last weekend?

[Hodar]

Mel Gibson ... The Patriot .... Signs .... We Were Soldiers Once ... Hamlet (which bombed) ... Lethal Weapons series plus others. I have a lot of respect for that man. Wish I could say that about even 10% of the rest of hollywood.

I watched the interview too....Mel is a devout Catholic,...he even has a chapel in his home where Latin Masses are conducted....

[keats5]

I'm with you there! I rarely see movies anymore, but I'm seeing this one.

[sweetliberty]

How should I know. Doesn't sound like a movie that would appeal to me.

[waterstraat]

What does Mel say about the second amendment?

[sweetliberty]

"What does Mel say about the second amendment?"

Couldn't tell you, but I have no doubt that there's a FReeper with the answer. Just give it time. :-)

[Pyro7480]

His movie "The Patriot" was under fire when it came out because it depicted Mel's character's children shooting guns at British soldiers. I don't remember if Mel said anything about it, but I remember a lot of conservative commentators "firing back," so to say, at the leftist critics.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Bump for a miraculous story.

Watch the repeat at around 8:15 p.m. PST.

Gibson is a true hero who's risking his own money and career for a story that's never been told on screen before.

From the interview, it sounds like he's putting his safety on the line, too.

"Spooky."

[Pyro7480]

LOL That didn't take very long. ;-)

[DoctorMichael]

Damn! Missed it!

Thanks for the heads up, I'll catch it on the rerun at 11 PM.

I was watching the archeological and forensic NOVA program on PBS about searching for remains of crashed American Serviceman on the Kamchatka Pennisula from WWII. Very interesting.........after crashing they may have been eaten by bears.

This is awesome. Bravo for Mel Gibson :) Anybody know anything else about this movie? When is it coming out, the name of it? I heard it is being filmed in latin and aramaic. Wow...
